Community Development Partners to Break Ground on Rocky Hill Veterans Housing

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. – Community Development Partners to break ground for the Rocky Hill Veterans Housing on April 7. Located at 582 Rocky Hill Road in Vacaville, California, this $21-million project will provide much-needed housing for chronically homeless veterans and low-income veterans and families.

Rocky Hill will consist of 39 new, high-quality permanent rental homes for people earning 15 percent to 60 percent of the area median income. Twenty-nine units will be reserved for veterans, with the remainder having a veteran preference.

The innovative project’s structural system is comprised of modified steel shipping containers, which is stronger than typical wood framing. The project is designed to achieve LEED Gold certification, and is scheduled for completion in December 2017.

Kyle Paine, President of Community Development Partners, the project’s developer, says, “The overall goal of this project is to catalyze a neighborhood renewal.  Not only is the project itself designed to promote interaction among residents, a resident services coordinator will work with the nearby Boys & Girls Club and other community partners to coordinate services and strengthen the existing neighborhood.”

Supportive Services provided by CAN-B, the Veterans Administration and LifeSTEPS. Designed by G7A Gonzales Architects, property management provided by Solari Enterprises, construction by Precision General Commercial Contractors and modified shipping containers provided by GrowthPoint Structures. Vacaville Community Housing is the nonprofit partner and Integrity Housing is the co-general partner.
